in thread Help understanding object constructors

  1. They don’t play nicely with Data::Dumper or Storable

That merely requires that someone write STORABLE_freeze and STORABLE_thaw methods for inside-out objects, and that they make use of Data::Dumper’s Freezer/Toaster stuff (which, unfortunately, is not as automatic as Storable’s hooks are).

None of the problems are insurmountable.

Inside-out objects are not the cure for cancer, but they sure help with gray hairs.

Makeshifts last the longest.
